Questions about Red River Ranch Beef

What is Angus Beef? The Black Angus breed is recognized by beef councils and Oklahoma agriculture experts to consistently produce the most tender, most flavorful cuts of meat. That’s why when we’re hand-picking animals at auction, we buy only the Black Angus breed.

How can I know I’m buying tender beef? If you’re buying beef at a nationwide chain, you’re rolling the dice. After we’ve bought the best meat, the largest chains buy the rest. You might get a good cut at one of these mega-stores, but the cards are stacked against you. Unlike United Stores, where we cut meat in your local Oklahoma store, their meat is cut and packaged in large central processing facilities. There is no butcher on staff to answer your questions, and they can’t give you a special cut. What you see is what you get – and what you get usually isn’t very good.

Why should I buy my beef at United? Your local United has an expert butcher on staff. He or she can tell you exactly what cut of meat to buy. In many stores, we can dry-age your beef to your liking. We can wrap it to take home and grill right away, or double wrap it for the freezer. Want to make something from a cut you don’t see in the store? No problem! We’ll cut or grind your meat to your specification.

I’ve bought the wrong cut before and wasn’t happy with the result. How do I find the right cut? We’ve got a lot of great information about cuts right here on the United site and on the Red River Ranch beef site. Take a look at our resources. But your best bet is to ask your United butcher. We love to talk to customers about beef every day, and we love answering questions. Just tell us what you want to eat, and we’ll tell you what to buy and how to prepare it.

Dry Aged Beef

The Dry-Aged Beef Oklahoma Deserves

Over the years, wet aging has become the commonly accepted standard for aging beef, primarily because it allows beef to reach ideal tenderness levels fast and preserves volume as the beef ages inside its packaging.

Until the 1960’s, the beef you’d get from your local butcher was dry-aged beef. Dry aging is a slower aging process that removes the excess moisture and allows natural enzymes to break down, creating concentrated flavor and amazing tenderness. The beef is held just above freezing in a humidity controlled cabinet, right in our store.

We’ve rediscovered this lost art of aging and brought it to some of our United Stores in the form of Red River Ranch dry-aged choice angus beef.

You can see the difference for yourself by looking into the special dry-aged beefcase. Now taste the difference by trying Red River Ranch dry-aged beef for yourself today.
